SATAN SUPERSTAR is a handbook of the infernal and the immaculate. From the producers of The Reprobate, this is a book covering the curious world of Satanic pop culture and lifestyle – from occult documentaries to devilish country music, from Iranian Black Metal to forbidden literature, and from faith healers to Satanic atheists. Throughout the book, we delve into the darker side of the occult and probe the lighter aspects of Satanic entertainment, with articles, interviews, reviews and photo spreads.

Mon, 16 Oct 2017 16:58:41 GMTIt's available now, and looks as rich as the Dracula book.
Pricey but limited and will sell fast! Actually not so pricey as the overseas airmail costs will give you angina.

Take a tour through the horror paperback novels of two iconic decades . . . if you dare. Page through dozens and dozens of amazing book covers featuring well-dressed skeletons, evil dolls, and knife-wielding killer crabs! Read shocking plot summaries that invoke devil worship, satanic children, and haunted real estate! Horror author and vintage paperback book collector Grady Hendrix offers killer commentary and witty insight on these trashy thrillers that tried so hard to be the next Exorcist or Rosemary’s Baby. Complete with story summaries and artist and author profiles, this unforgettable volume dishes on familiar authors like V. C. Andrews and R. L. Stine, plus many more who’ve faded into obscurity. Also included are recommendations for which of these forgotten treasures are well worth your reading time and which should stay buried.

Gather round the neighborhood ice cream truck for these tales of sorrow, wonder, and redemption. Each installment features its own cast of strange characters, dealing with their own special sundae of suffering. And on the periphery of all of them, like the twinkly music of his colorful truck, is the Ice Cream Man—a weaver of stories, a purveyor of sweet treats. Friend. Foe. God. Demon. The man who, with a snap of his fingers—lickety split!—can change the course of your life forever.

“I'm jazzed to be working with Martín and Chris to bring folks these odd little stories about broken people and their complicated interior lives,” said Prince. “With any luck, there's something yummy here for all stripes of reader, no matter their tastes.”

“ICE CREAM MAN is unlike anything I've worked on before!” said Morazzo. “The stories we're telling, tales of everyday people dealing with extreme situations—always with a dark twist—are rarely seen in comics these days.”

ICE CREAM MAN #1, Cover A by series artists Morazzo and O’Halloran (Diamond code: NOV170652) and Cover B by Frazer Irving (Diamond code: NOV170653), hits comic book stores Wednesday, January 17th. The final order cutoff deadline for comics retailers is Monday, December 25th.

"High-concept comics superstars DAMON GENTRY (Sabertooth Swordsman) and TROY NIXEY (Jenny Finn, The Black Sinister, Trout) are back with an off-the-wall story with unforgettable art–Vinegar Teeth!

Artie Buckle is a grade ‘A’ schmuck. His excessive fondness for booze compliments his flash temper, but hold their feet to the fire, his fellow officers would agree; Artie is one helluva cop. He’s gonna need that scrap of goodwill because Brick City is under siege from its citizenry and to top it off Artie’s been saddled with the city’s newest hero as his partner; a hideous, monstrous, but completely likable, extra-dimensional being named Vinegar Teeth. Can Artie pull his head out long enough to work together with a Lovecraftian monster with a heart of gold and set Brick City back on its feet?

Strap in for a helluva ride with this epic genre mash-up of horror, humor, crime, and science fiction! You ain’t seen nothing like it!

“Damon and I set out to honor and poke a little fun at our favorite genres of comics and movies. Hands down, Vinegar Teeth is the most fun I’ve ever had working in comics, I hope that fun is dripping off every page as you read it,” said Nixey.

The first issue of Vinegar Teeth (of four) is on-sale January 24, 2018, and is available for pre-order at your local comic shop."

"We learned back in July that Dynamite Entertainment is bringing back Pumpkinhead for a brand new comic book series, and we’ve got some more details for ya today.

The original comics, being penned by Cullen Bunn, will tell brand new stories that expand upon the rich mythology present in Stan Winston’s directorial debut.

“I watched Pumpkinhead on opening night in a little two-screen movie theater outside Berkeley Mall in Goldsboro, North Carolina. To say it helped cement my love of horror (and, in particular, ‘rural horror’, which I write a lot of these days) would be an understatement,” Bunn said in a statement. “I can recite the poem from memory. I even play the soundtrack while writing my own stories. The pacing, the eeriness of the setting, the interplay of weird light and shadow. These are all elements I hope to capture in the comic. As a longtime fan of horror, I hold this movie in high regard, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be contributing to the backwoods mythos of Haggis and Bunt Wallace and the Demon of Vengeance his own self.”

Look for Dynamite to resurrect Pumpkinhead in February 2018."

More at the link including some promo art by the great Kelley Jones.

I've got enough faith in Bunn based on the quality of his work in Harrow County that I figure he can probably pull this off. They don't note who is doing the interior art. If it were Jones, this could potentially be excellent but I have a feeling it won't be.

THE PRISONER MARKS 50TH ANNIVERSARY WITH ALL-NEW COMIC BOOKS!
Titan Comics to publish all-new comic books to celebrate the 50th...Press release!

(October 2017) – To celebrate the first UK broadcast of celebrated cult favourite The Prisoner, Titan Comics - licensed by ITV Studios Global Entertainment - are pleased to announce an all-new comic books based on the original TV show written by Peter Milligan (The Mummy, Dan Dare, Hellblazer) with art by Colin Lorimer (The X-Files, Hellraiser, Harvest) coming in 2018!

The Prisonerfirst aired on ITV in the United Kingdom on 29 September 1967 – and in 1968 in the US - and was an immediate smash hit with global audiences due to its surreal mix of spy fiction with sci-fi, allegory and psychological drama elements.

The worldwide smash hit series starred Patrick MacGoohan (Danger Man, Escape from Alcatraz) as Number 6 – the fiery British former secret agent who is abducted and held prisoner in a shadowy coastal village, where his captors try to find out why he abruptly resigned from his job.

“For a story where all is ambiguous, it’s hardly surprising that everyone takes from The Prisoner something different; like most people I had my own theories, my own twisted notions – mostly Kafkaesque and existential - of what was really going on in those mock Italianate dwellings. Personally the stranger and more baffling it was the better it suited me,” said Peter Milligan writer of the new re-imagined comic books. “So what an honor it is now, thanks to Titan Comics, to be writing Number 6’s successor into that enigmatic and beguiling world. And how cool it is to imagine that while I’m writing this new iteration of the Prisoner, I am at least for a while... number one.”

Titan’s The Prisoner hits stores in 2018, and will be available to pre-order from an upcoming edition of Diamond PREVIEWS. Register your interest with your local comics retailer now!

Originally published in 1992 and long out of print, this second edition features a brand new cover by Tim Bradstreet.

Badlands is a fictional crime drama that depicts the events leading up to the assassination of JFK and examines the longstanding question—was there a second shooter?

Conrad "Connie" Bremen is an ex-con carrying the stench of a sordid, secret past. Connie just wants to get on with his life, but he's attracting the attention of all the wrong people: the mob, the CIA, and the FBI, just to name a few. They all have plans for Connie, whether he likes it or not—and some of those plans include the murder of a president. For Connie Bremen, the road to Dallas begins and ends here, in the Badlands.

The new edition of Badlands goes on sale March 14, 2018, and is available for preorder on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and at your local comic shop. Visit DarkHorse.com for more information.

Greetings from Bazillion Points. We are writing to invite you to preview and preorder STRAIGHT EDGE: A Clear-Headed Hardcore Punk History, the strong-minded new oral history by NYHC: New York Hardcore author Tony Rettman. Two sample chapters, the complete table of contents, and a cast of characters are available online right here:

This deluxe softcover runs 400 pages, features a foreword by Civ of Gorilla Biscuits, includes a full-color insert, and will be available everywhere in early November. Especially for preorders, we are including a molded metal badge based on Dave Smalley of DYS's "X-fist" arm tattoo. We hope you link arms and join us with this latest authoritative and exhaustive leap into the vast demi-world of another powerful DIY subculture.

Starting in 1981 via Minor Threat’s revolutionary call to arms, the clean and positive straight edge hardcore punk movement took hold and prospered during the 1980s, earning a position as one of the most durable yet chronically misunderstood music subcultures. Straight edge created its own sound and visual style, went on to embrace vegetarianism, and later saw the rise of a violent militant fringe. As the “don’t drink, don’t smoke” message spread from Washington, D.C., to Boston, California, New York City, and, eventually, the world, adherents struggled to define the fundamental ideals and limits of what may be the ultimate youth movement.

“What separates hardcore from punk is that punk was just saying, ‘fkck this place.’ Hardcore was saying, ‘let’s make a difference. Let’s make our minds stronger and focus.’”—Toby Morse, H2O

“We were out to create a revolution. We loved the power and energy of hardcore, but not the whole self-destructive punk ethos. We were into being healthy and living clean, mean, and smart.”—John Porcelly, Youth of Today

“Straight edge became a religion. It’s a very strange feeling to be one of the unwitting founders of this religion.”—Jeff Nelson, Minor Threat
